Chapter 508: Acquaintance

Not long after, Wang Yu saw the mountains where the Jade Balance Hall was located and the numerous buildings looming within them.

Although he had only been in Green Water Cave Heaven for a few days, when he came to the Jade Balance Hall last time, he had naturally long since quietly remembered the locations of several important places with his divine sense, especially places like the Scripture Library and the Pill Pavilion.

Therefore, he drove the fire escape without any hesitation, circled in the air, and landed toward a giant pavilion seven or eight stories high.

At the entrance of the pavilion, several men and women were entering and exiting. The back of a young woman at the very end made Wang Yu take a look, and he actually had an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.

But besides Li Tianqi, how could he have any other acquaintances in Green Water Palace?

Wang Yu did not think much about it; perhaps it was just that the back view was very similar to someone, so he also walked into the Pill Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw two groups of people standing in front of a counter in the first-floor hall, talking to a Daoist boy about something.

A Daoist boy?

Wang Yu looked at the boy behind the counter with a wooden hairpin in his hair and wearing a light blue Daoist robe, and a strange look could not help but emerge on his face.

He had also been a Daoist boy for quite a while back then.

Although the hall had several counters, there was only this one Daoist boy behind the counter. Wang Yu thought for a moment, walked over a few steps, and waited on the side.

The man and woman at the very front of the counter seemed to be a married couple.

The man was wearing a short-sleeved leather armor, had a burly figure, thick arms, and looked abnormally strong. The woman was tall, wearing the light blue Green Water Palace attire, her hair was tied up high, and her belly was slightly bulging; she was actually pregnant.

This couple saw Wang Yu come over but did not care. Instead, after quickly reaching an agreement with the Daoist boy, they handed over a bag of spiritual stones, took a medicine bottle from the Daoist boy's hand, and left.

When the strong man passed by, he nodded to the other group of people before putting his arm around the woman beside him and walking out of the door as if no one else was there.

The woman also had a face full of happiness, and the two looked abnormally affectionate.

"Brother, you greeted that Senior Uncle. Is he Senior Uncle Wu of the inner sect? I heard that he entered the Dao through martial arts and is a natural genius at body refining. Although he is only at the early Foundation Establishment Stage, he once had a record of defeating mid-stage cultivators. Are you very familiar with him?"

In the other group of people slightly further from the counter, a girl who was not tall, had a baby face, and looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, immediately shouted at the young man in his thirties beside her as soon as that couple left the hall, her face showing a bit of excitement.

This group of people, two women and two men, were all wearing Green Water Palace attire.

However, looking at the marks on their clothes, the two women were only outer sect disciples, and their aura was only around the mid-to-late Qi Refinement Stage. The two men were inner sect disciples, both emitting the aura of the early Foundation Establishment Stage. Among them, the man whose sleeve was pulled by the baby-faced girl had a face that was actually somewhat similar to the girl's.

"Little sister, you have memorized the palace's list of famous people by heart. That is indeed Li Li Shixiong Wu and his wife. Li Li Shixiong Wu is a famous body-refining powerhouse of this generation in the palace. It is not strange at all that he can defeat mid-stage opponents across ranks. I only have met him a few times," the young man whose sleeve was pulled replied with a bit of a headache, seeing his own sister being so surprised.

"Hee hee, Senior Uncle Wu relied on a pair of fists and body-refining skills to save up enough resources to successfully advance to Foundation Establishment and enter the ranks of inner sect disciples. He is a legendary figure in the outer sect, so I am naturally a bit excited to see him," the baby-faced girl replied with a giggle.

"Hmph, crazy all day long, I don't know when you will become as quiet as Miss Murong," the young man said, looking at another young woman beside the girl.

This young woman had delicate features and fair skin. Although she was not stunning, she carried a bookish aura that made people feel comfortable. Upon hearing what the brother of the baby-faced girl said, she replied gently:

"Cousin Gao's words are wrong. Cousin Zizi's innocent and lively personality is what she should have at this age. On the contrary, I have read too many books, and my personality is a bit dull, so I don't have many friends of the same age."

"Cousin Gao's personality is naturally good, but Cousin Murong is also very good. There should be many people who admire you, right?" Another younger-looking young man with narrow eyes beside him said with deep meaning after looking at the delicate woman twice.

"Is that so? Then I will accept Senior Uncle Mi's auspicious words. I hope it will truly be like that in the future," the woman surnamed Murong replied with a slight change in her face upon hearing this.

"What Senior Uncle? Didn't I say that you are my cousin? Mi and I discuss as fellow disciples, so you can naturally address each other as peers," the brother of the baby-faced girl was a bit unhappy when he saw this.

"That won't do. I have a blood relationship with Cousin, so we can naturally discuss as peers. As for Senior Uncle Mi, it is better to address each other according to the rules of the palace," the delicate woman replied seriously.

As soon as these words were spoken, the young man surnamed Gao's face sank, and 'Senior Uncle Mi' beside him also frowned. Only the baby-faced girl looked left and right with her eyes rolling, seemingly seeing something, and pursed her lips without saying anything.

Just when the atmosphere among the few was a bit awkward, the Daoist boy behind the counter in front asked them coldly with impatience:

"What are you few exchanging for? If you are not exchanging for pills, then let the people behind go."

"Little Daoist, please forgive us. We few want to exchange for a few bottles of pills to improve cultivation," the brother of the baby-faced girl was suddenly startled and hurriedly walked to the counter, cupping his hands and saying.

This Daoist boy looked like he was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refinement, but the young man surnamed Gao was full of obsequious smiles.

The other three saw this and just followed. That "Senior Uncle Mi" also reported several pill names to the Daoist boy.

Because that pair of cousins were outer sect disciples, they were not qualified to exchange for or buy pills here and could only look on with envious eyes from the side.

At this time, Wang Yu stood quietly on the side.

Although the voices of the few people's conversation were not loud, with his powerful divine sense, he could naturally hear them clearly.

But he did not pay attention to the content of the conversation at all. His eyes had been falling on the face of the delicate young woman, his expression seemingly normal, but his gaze carried an indescribable complexity.

It seemed that Wang Yu's gaze was too direct, causing the delicate woman surnamed Murong to finally be unable to help but turn her head and meet Wang Yu's gaze.

Seeing that it was a strange face she did not recognize, the delicate woman's willow eyebrows could not help but wrinkle, and she felt a bit unhappy in her heart. But limited by Wang Yu wearing the inner sect disciple attire, after the woman turned her head back, she just shifted her body slightly to avoid the gaze that had fallen on her face and did not say anything.

The baby-faced girl beside her seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. Her eyes were wide open, and she pulled the delicate woman to the side, whispering, occasionally glancing at Wang Yu's side once or twice.

Wang Yu witnessed this scene, his expression unchanged, but after his eyes flickered, he actually began to ponder something.

"This fellow disciple looks a bit strange. Could it be a disciple who just joined the palace recently?" The young man surnamed Mi on the other side suddenly left the counter and walked a few steps to Wang Yu's side, asking with a smile that was not a smile. ===== CHAPTER 509 =====
